Biography
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Andreas is a cross
between apple pie and baklava. Attracted from
early childhood to being on stage, he took
theatre as an extra-curricular in high school, as
a Major at St. Louis University, and received a
Master's Degree in Threatre from Indiana
University.

With never a doubt or hesitation, Andreas jumped
right into the professional theatre world,
performing in plays in St. Louis, New York, and
Boston for three years and then a fifteen-year
heart and soul involvement with Peter Brook's
International Theatre Company, performing around
the world with a challenging combination of
improvisational Theatre in every imaginable
circumstance and space, and "prepared"
Theatre pieces in traditional, as well as
unconventional, Theatre spaces, from Lincoln
Center in New York and The Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C., to the "mean streets"
of Brooklyn and marketplaces in remote African
Villages; from elite Theatre Festivals in Iran,
Avignon and Belgrade, to prisons, mental
institutions, rock quarries in Australia, barrios
in Venezuela, sewage plants in Switzerland, the
streets of Venice, Italy, in the fields with farm
workers in California, in the lakes of Minnesota
with Native Americans, in snow, in rain, and in
extreme heat. But never on a boat! Yet!..

Then, a part in Michael Cimino's "The
Sicilian" brought Andreas to Los Angeles
where he was immediately cast as Joey Venza in
Ridley Scott's "Someone To Watch Over
Me", and as Arthur, the chauffeur, in Blake
Edward's "Sunset".

He has lived in Los Angeles since 1986, working
in television and film (see resume of credits).
and hopes soon to return to working in the Threatre. Which does he like best, Theatre or
film? It's like trying to choose between apple
pie and baklava. Andreas says, "Let's have
both!"
